In addition, a licensee may request a replacement of any license, permit, or game tag, which has been issued but has not been received by the licensee. A replacement license, permit, or game tag may be issued by an agent appointed by the department following authorization from a department representative.</p> <p class=MsoNormal>&nbsp;</p> <p class=MsoNormal>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; No license, permit, or game tag may be replaced unless the licensee completes an affidavit provided by the department verifying that the license, permit, or game tag has been lost or destroyed; through an oversight is not in the licensee's possession or has not been received by the licensee; and that no game animal or fish had been taken by the licensee as authorized by the license, permit, or game tag. Upon issuance of a replacement license, permit, or game tag, the original license, permit, or game tag becomes invalid. The original license, other than a license that is lost and destroyed or that is held at the department's licensing office, along with a copy of the affidavit must be returned to the department's licensing office and postmarked within 10 days of getting the replacement license.</p> <p class=MsoNormal>&nbsp;</p> <p class=MsoNormal>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; There is no administrative fee for replacement of lost or destroyed licenses, permits, or game tags.</p> <p class=MsoNormal>&nbsp;</p> <p class=MsoNormal>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; License agents may, and the department shall, charge the license agent's fee established by SDCL <A HREF="/statutes/DisplayStatute.aspx?Type=Statute&Statute=41-6-66.1">41-6-66.1</A> in issuing a permit in lieu of a lost license and any other authorized replacement licenses, permits, or game tags.</p> <p class=MsoNormal>&nbsp;</p> <p class=MsoNormal>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <b>Source:</b> 9 SDR 147, effective May 22, 1983; 10 SDR 76, 10 SDR 102, effective July 1, 1984; 16 SDR 135, effective February 18, 1990; 17 SDR 34, effective January 1, 1991; 17 SDR 139, effective March 21, 1991; 25 SDR 43, effective September 28, 1998; 27 SDR 35, effective October 17, 2000; 31 SDR 89, effective December 27, 2004; 36 SDR 21, effective August 18, 2009; 38 SDR 101, effective December 5, 2011; 41 SDR 34, effective September 2, 2014; 46 SDR 116, effective April 29, 2020; 47 SDR 27, effective September 15, 2020.</p> <p class=MsoNormal>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <b>General Authority:</b> SDCL <A HREF="/statutes/DisplayStatute.aspx?Type=Statute&Statute=41-2-18">41-2-18(12)(13).</A></p> <p class=MsoNormal>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <b>Law Implemented:</b> SDCL <A HREF="/statutes/DisplayStatute.aspx?Type=Statute&Statute=41-2-18">41-2-18(12)(13)</A>, <A HREF="/statutes/DisplayStatute.aspx?Type=Statute&Statute=41-6-55">41-6-55.</A></p> <p class=MsoNormal>&nbsp;</p> </div> </body> </html>
